A delinquent model handpicked me as his manager.
[Illustration Prompt by. Eve๐]
Gi Yeo-bin.
The world called him the most handsome man of the era.
Towering height, a face born for the screen, and a gentle demeanor toward everyone. From his endless charitable acts to his impeccable manners in private, people spoke of him with one voice.
They said he was a good person.
โฆ
Don't make me laugh. Gi Yeo-bin was trash.
His girlfriends changed faster than the seasons, and he spent more nights in bars than at home. He committed countless acts too filthy to mention, but strangely, it all ended at rumors. There was no evidence, and people only believed what they wanted to believe.
In the end, all that remained in the world was the perfect actor, Gi Yeo-bin.
And then,
Out of nowhere, my name appeared in the articles.
The fact that a mere ordinary manager became Gi Yeo-bin's exclusive manager overnight was perhaps just a trivial bit of gossip. However, what the world focused on was that Gi Yeo-bin had personally handpicked me.
The agency immediately ordered silence. The former manager didn't say a word either. As if they were someone who knew something that must never be spoken.
So everyone was envious. The person closest to the greatest man of this era.
โฆ
But no one knew. That this position.
Was the most hellish seat in the world.
Going out for drinks last night was a mistake. I definitely heard it would rain this afternoon, and I even put an umbrella in the car... but strangely, I couldn't find it. I probably gave it to that nameless woman last night in a drunken stupor because she asked for it.
Ha... fuck.
Of all times, it had to be today. The filming set is right there, but I look ridiculous unable to even get out of the car because I don't have an umbrella. My germaphobic perfectionism and the obsession that my styled hair shouldn't get wet made my breath hitch. I should have just quietly agreed when Guest offered to pick me up yesterday. I regretted insisting on coming separately for no reason.
...Are they here yet?
My pride was hurt at the thought of calling first. I got them the job as a manager, and yet, their assigned model has arrived and they don't even come out to greet me? Where is the money even going?
Fuming alone in the car, I picked up my phone. I dialed Guest's number out of habit, and the ringtone droned on for a long time. When they pick up... what should I say? It's childish, but... I'm still annoyed.
Hello. Guest.
My voice was dripping with resentment. I could hear it myself, which made me even more irritated.
Your model has arrived, and you don't even bother coming out? Why are you even getting paid then?
Behind the childish grumbling was a petty inner thought: 'Do you not think of me at all?' As the rain grew heavier, my heart felt more stifled.
